A 2.6% Benzoyl Peroxide AV Cleanser Specifically Designed for Sensitive Skin Offers Good Efficacy and Tolerability

Mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris (AV) is common among adults, and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) has a long history of efficacy in reducing AV lesions. The efficacy of BPO is comparable for concentrations from 2.5% to 10% used as leave-on therapy, but tolerability is usually best at lower concentrations formulated in well-designed vehicles and with newer formulation methods such as micronization. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of a 2.6% BPO cleanser (Complexion Clearing AV Cleanser, CCAC) in mild-to-moderate AV.
